Pregnancy diabetes, is it still diabetes after childbirth?

Patient's question:

Pregnancy diabetes, is it still diabetes after childbirth?

Doctor's answer:

The purpose of dietary control for gestational diabetes patients is to provide the mother and fetus with sufficient calories and nutrients, allowing both to gain weight appropriately, achieve ideal blood sugar control, prevent gestational toxemia, and reduce the occurrence of premature birth, miscarriage, and difficult labor. The nutritional needs are the same as those of normal pregnant women, but more attention must be paid to calorie intake, the distribution ratio of nutrients, and meal timing. Additionally, it is advisable to avoid sugary and high-fat foods while increasing dietary fiber intake.
